Will I receive the harvest of my own adoption?
It’s rather unlikely 🤨. We will never say “never”, but in the majority of the projects the Farmers cannot assure you that the harvest will be exactly from your own adopted unit. Logistically speaking this would be extremely difficult and would incur unnecessary and moreover unfair risks.
Honestly — probably not, and that's by design.
In most projects, farmers cannot guarantee that the harvest in your box comes exclusively from your specific adopted unit. Logistically, it would be extremely difficult: what if your tree produces less than others that season? What if it's affected by weather or disease?
Instead, your farmer blocks a portion of their total harvest — grown under the same soil, the same methods, the same care — specifically for you. It's a shared harvest, not a individual one, and that's what makes it reliable.
What your adoption does guarantee
🏷️ Your unit bears the name you chose at the time of purchase
📸 Each season you receive updates of your adoption, visible from your Garden
🔒 Your harvest is secured — if for any reason it cannot be sent, you receive a full refund
🤝 A direct link to your farmer — you know who grows your food, how, and where
The bigger picture
The adoption model exists to create something the traditional food supply chain never offered: a transparent, direct relationship between the person who grows and the person who eats. That connection is real — even if the exact olive from your tree isn't the one in your bottle.
